The role of consoler-in-chief does not come naturally to President Trump, but he made an effort Wednesday afternoon. “I want to hear you,” Trump told the students, though he apparently required some prompting. I never said “give teachers guns” like was stated on Fake News @CNN & @NBC. “President Trump said today that we should consider arming teachers,” moderator Jake Tapper said. Trump did not mention the shooting survivors who spoke out on CNN in any of his eight tweets Thursday morning.
